Common Sense Note

Parents should know that although SpongeBob ultimately emphasizes the notion that good things come to good people, sometimes some of the characters can act in ways that can confuse younger kids. There is no educational content in these shows but they also have no violence and harsh language.

Families who see this movie could discuss the positive qualities of SpongeBob (friendly, caring). On the flipside, parents could talk to their child about Mr. Krabby's greedy qualities. What are the negative effects of greed? How do other character perceive Mr. Krabby's greed? Parents could also highlight SpongeBob's recurring theme that honest, caring people receive good things in return. Bad people receive bad things in return.

Common Sense Review

Joined by his two friends, Mr. Krabby and Patrick, SpongeBob SquarePants engage in goofy underwater adventures. SpongeBob is a quirky sponge who takes pride in being a fry cook. His boss is a frugal lobster named Mr. Krabby. Patrick is SpongeBob's aloof best friend. SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS: FEAR OF KRABBY PATTY is formatted into five separate episodes plus three bonus episodes. Each story line is different, yet all revolve around SpongeBob and his friends. Much of the plot involves deception, but always ends favorably for the good guys. The pace is very fast and is jam packed with jokes.

With an almost cult like following, Nickelodeon's SpongeBob SquarePants dominates children's programming. The bright cartoon graphics are topnotch. The humor mimics 90's icons Ren & Stimpy, but targets a younger audience. In SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS: FEAR OF KRABBY PATTY plots and visuals move quickly making it confusing for preschoolers.

Families who enjoy SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS: FEAR OF KRABBY PATTY might also enjoy other SpongeBob movies including SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom (2003), SpongeBob SquarePants: Revenge of the Flying Dutchman (2002), The Origin of SpongeBob SquarePants (2003), and SpongeBob SquarePants: Legend of the Lost Spatula (2001).
